Aanbieding 1 met studiegidsnummer 4018203DNR voor alle studenten in het 1e semester met een inleidend master niveau.
The course develops a number of theoretical and thematic perspectives on the geographies of globalisation through a particular focus on Europe and its cities and regions. Focusing on processes of de- and reterritorialisation as intrinsic to globalisation, analytical and empirical attention is paid to the emergence of ‘Europe’ as an important scale for political, economic and social action. Within Europe, we can observe a restructuring of national states as well as subnational regions and cities, which has led and continues to lead to the development of various kinds of new territories, places, scales and networks. The position of cities and regions within this setting is central to a sophisticated understanding of the geographies of a globalizing Europe.
The course consists of a combination of lectures and seminars: the lectures are focused on ex-cathedra teaching by various lecturers with each lecture unpacking a different geography of Europe; the seminars are oriented towards interactive discussion. Student evaluation will be structured around the writing of an individual paper on one European city and the seminars will be used to support students in the writing process.
